...een promoting three other prescription drugs, also platelet inhibitors, which have similar anti-clotting effects. They are: ticlopidine (Ticlid), clopidogrel (Plavix), and dipyridamole with very small doses of aspirin (Aggrenox). Ticlopidine's use is now known to have been associated with at least 260 deaths ...

The authors conclude that besides activation of platelet function and the thromboxane synthesis, in vivo oxidation injury may be an important additional major player in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease secondary to passive smoke exposure.

This enzyme could be responsible for lowering the atherogenic effects of LDL. In severe periodontitis this association between LDL-associated PAF-...
